How can you improve collaboration by the minute? In The Collaboration Cards, noted team-effectiveness researcher Dr. Alistair Cockburn describes 18 specific actions you can take that encourage collaboration in your family or your team: Lower your relative social position, Recognize others, Make it fun, Find your center, and Get one result are among the detailed movements that improve people’s inclination to collaborate.
The most unusual part of the book is the author asking you to tear the pages out of the book! He wants you to lay them out in front of you, trade them with others, and walk around with just one in your hand. “Free the cards,” he writes, “Then use them.”
Suggested activities include carrying a focus card daily, establishing weekly team themes, and using the cards to explore solutions to interpersonal challenges. Through repeated practice, readers develop a richer vocabulary for collaboration and a deeper understanding of the behaviors that support it.
The Collaboration Cards can be used in business environments, educational settings, coaching relationships, nonprofit organizations, families and community groups. It is suitable for managers, team leaders, educators, consultants, coaches, and anyone interested in building stronger relationships and more collaborative cultures.
In The Collaboration Cards, Alistair Cockburn brings the same clarity, humanity, and joy that have made him a favorite among practitioners, educators, and leaders worldwide.
Printed in full color to support easy reading and active use, designed in a compact 4“x6” format for everyday carry.
